You won't be able to. If you configured them up as a stripe (ie, no mirroring) with interleaving every x megabytes on each disk, you'll basically end up with a virtual hard disk with "holes" evenly spread out across 1/3rd of the image. I don't know of any (easy) tools to recover from that.
I can think of what I'd write to try and recover -something- but it'd involve writing a whole lot of rather hairy looking filesystem-scraping code. I'm sure there are tools to do this kind of partial data recovery but they're bound to be -very- expensive.
